This is how we start the canny X-men
i have a friend whomst I will not name in case they don’t want to be asked about this but they have a Very Specific and Terrible power which is, if you take the online BDSM quiz and then just simply mention you have, they can look at you for under ten seconds and just state your top result.
I can’t tell you anything more soul-shattering, any death more instant and devastating, any moment more harrowing to witness than someone saying “yeah i took the BDSM quiz once” only for my friend to no more than glance at them and then announce “brat” and the look in the person’s eyes is that of one who just tipped too far back in their chair
:/
Personally, I hope my adventures with Superman opens the doors for more stories like it, slowly introducing the starting justice league members, either with their own shows or through Superman. I want flash to be first because both versions of the flash would work great in the MAWS universe, for his kind nature and friendship with people like JLU shows and we already have star labs to introduce him. That and I want the flash facts to come back along with an anime nerd flash running around naming his moves in (at least in the beginning) a makeshift suit using anime merch of that universe.
The only way I want Batman in My Adventures with Superman is if he’s like the parents in Charlie Brown or only ever off handily mentioned
I want it to be either like
Batman on the phone: wah wah wahwah wah wah wah wah
Clark: sounds like a pretty big deal I’ll be there asap!!
Or he’s meeting other members of the soon-to-be justice league and the conversations are like bring in the Flash by connecting him to STAR Labs and then have him say stuff like:
Flash: It was good to meet you Superman! You know, we should think of teaming up with more superheroes, I’ve heard something about a “Wonder Woman” in DC, a “Green Arrow” in Seattle and a weird man in a bat costume who hangs out in Gotham. We should try and see what they’re doing!
Because as much as I love the Batman and Superman duo, i feel like all new DC content we get has to feature Batman and it would be so funny if a show went out of its way to mention him as little as possible in the most convoluted ways. Hell it would even be funny to bring in Robin before bringing in Batman
I want a revolution from this society that in the current moment has basic kindness as news
shit’s bad!!!!! here are some not terrible headlines to take the edge off a little bit
YES! Health relationships.
Haven’t collabed with @renconner in a long while for a mini comic (minus our big one, Instinct). We were talking about one of Stan’s lowest moments involving being outside with that damn sign, so we decided to make a comic with Stan remembering it. I’ve also kinda of assumed Filbrick would lie to Ford about what’s going on with Stan (Stan probably did too to some extent).
Holy shit, ghangst
So we have Ghast angst now, apparently
This, this is the Batman that we don’t get to see as much anymore. The hero that can show that someone broke doesn’t have to break others to fix themselves. Someone who doesn’t stop criminals by beating them into submission but by helping them so they can heal. He is the hero that can show that bad people could just be hurt and just need help. I’ve seen people say that marvel is better because they deal with real problems while dc is more fantastical, but the thing I always see when looking at both is that marvel is how people are, struggling to be kind always trying, even when they fight on ideals they are kind. But dc is what we wish things were, an ideal world where there are hundreds of people all trying to see people and make things better and showing that everyone can change for the better. We lost both of those things but thankfully they are starting to come back , a little slow for Batman but I can see it, and I can’t wait for the old hero’s to be good again.
I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.
I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.
But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.
Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.
Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better. That’s why we see time and time again that he has a noticeable soft spot for her, because he knows that she’s a good person at her core.
Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything, because he recognizes he’s not just a criminal with a weird gimmick, he’s a man who is struggling with a condition that he’s mishandled his whole life.
Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival. Of course Batman would understand, his whole life was defined by having people he loved taken away from him.
Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”
For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies. Do you know how much emotional intelligence and maturity that must take? To comfort someone who arguably ruined your life?
And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?
That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?
That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?
Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.
Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.
DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “aight, bet”.
The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY and COMPASSION.
That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.
I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing compassion, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?
Instead of hitting people with cupids arrow, he shoots the with a Gatling gun.
dipper is so real i too can't flirt but can make up an insult on the spot that will stick with you forever and cause neverending damage. if provoked enough
I miss the old days when we could go into the woods to fight monsters and undiscovered creatures and would be seen as heroes. Now when I do it they say it’s animal cruelty, bitch I go in and challenge a bear in its own language, they know what they’re doing and I never kill them. We lost so much excitement now that we don’t go missing for months and coming back with an unconscious creature with us both covers in wounds.
The beast hungers, but I’m fine with my cheese fries.
I'm really not a very angry person there's just a lot of rage inside me
